Track & Field DS

Button-bashing classic Track & Field is celebrating 25 years with a new version of the arcade sporting contest game.

Konami’s New International Track & Field will feature over twenty different athletics events as well as new playable characters - like Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2 and Sparkster from Rocket Knight Adventures.

The Nintendo DS game has been designed by Udon Entertainment. It will feature extensive online modes including 4-player matches, downloadable content and leader boards. The developers are also adding a ticker “news feed” which will contain updates on any world records being smashed by other players online.

And check out the YouTube video clip promoting the new game below. Is it me, or do I think of something filthy when the people are playing this DS title?
